Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen peaches can be substituted; just thaw and drain them thoroughly. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the batter for a perfect texture. This dish pairs beautifully with Velvet Smooth Pound Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delicious contrast. This cobbler also pairs well with coffee or tea. For a full meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad, such as Ultra Quick Pasta Salad, to balance the sweetness of the dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use 2 large cans of drained peaches if fresh ones are not available. Just make sure to drain them well to avoid excess liquid in the cobbler.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when it is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary slightly, so keep an eye on it as it approaches the 60-minute mark.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cobbler ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking. Just cover it with plastic wrap. When ready to serve, bake it directly from the refrigerator, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
